Product Description

Designed for a wide variety of sound reinforcement applications, the Tannoy Di5a is an
ultra compact, high performance, active surface mount loudspeaker system capable of
delivering high sound pressure levels with extremely low distortion. A full bandwidth
loudspeaker designed for commercial, professional and residential applications where
durability and high quality sonic performance are required. These speakers are ideally
suited to stereo or monaural background or foreground music systems in such applications
as diverse as theme parks, retail premises, restaurants and cafés, corporate audio visual,
residential developments and houses of worship.

Equipped with Tannoy’s unique and exclusive point source ICT™ 110mm (4.50") drive unit,
the Di5a delivers an acoustic performance of outstanding clarity, definition and detail. The
point source configuration of the Tannoy ICT™ driver’s mid-bass and tweeter sections
ensures a wide and controlled dispersion for optimum coverage; this while avoiding the
massive loss of energy in the vertical plane, at the crossover frequency, inherent in
two-way discrete designs. The ICT™ (Inductive Coupling Technology) drive unit also
addresses the two most common component failures experienced in background music
and sound reinforcement systems, the tweeter and the crossover reliability. The use of a
wireless electromagnetic tweeter means that no crossover is required in the design; this
therefore ensures that an ICT™ unit is exceptionally reliable and therefore ideal for
applications where constant heavy usage is the norm. This aluminium high frequency dome
has a deep drawn skirt that sits on the inside of the low frequency voice coil in the same
magnetic gap. The skirt is like a single shorted turn that is induced with high frequency
information generated by the low frequency voice coil, which is fed a full bandwidth signal.
The mineral loaded polypropylene cone material and nitrile rubber surround further
enhance durability and long-term reliability.

Available in textured black or white painted finish with matching rubber trims, the
outstandingly durable and scuff resistant enclosure is manufactured from high impact
polystyrene (HIPS) with a powder coated perforated steel grille. Modification is possible by
application of alternative colour trims.

Two standard colour trim options are available from stock; enabling black or white product
to be supplied factory pre-fitted with either red or blue trims. Other trim colours can also be
created to suit specific requirements, but only as a special order customisation subject to
minimum order quantities. Primarily aimed at corporate branding applications, this aesthetic
flexibility will also enable colour coordination for larger installs.
